My software may not manage it, simply because of the way it was

the moment my computer is trying to connect.

which OTHER identifier?
you ENTER the SSID to connect
and that is exactly what anaconda is missing

<pre wrap="">SSID is mean as an identifier, a name, for the access point(s), and
that's all it's for. It's not a secret. It's not part of security.
Telling people which network is which (via SSID, or other methods) is
not part of security. This is a cold hard fact, and no false beliefs to
the contrary can change that.

Since we're already "off topic" so much so that we're discussing
other things entirely....can I ask a question, and bear in mind I'm
asking only for edification and NO other reason!: <br>
I am currently running Fedora 17 on my laptop. I'm the only one who
uses it, and can access it, but I worry sometimes about someone
trying to hack into it when I access the internet...is there some
security measures I can take that might prevent this? I don't have a
clue as to how to configure iptables...or how to even configure the
firewall....I HAVE a firewall on here...(it shows up in my
Applications list!) but what do I do to ensure my PC's
safety?....I've gone ahead and installed ClamAV...and that works
fine...I run it every Friday...and to date...it's NEVER found
"threats"...but I'm just wondering what I could do to "harden" my
security...(not to mention it will come in handy as hands-on
experience when I get my RHCSA cert....which I'm attempting to get!)
any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated!<br>
